Forehead scar revision didn't work. What else can I do?

December 13, 2015
Asked By:amjohnson1990 in CA

Got this scar from a traumatic injury. Initial plastic surgery repair in ER. Scar didn't heal well so I had a scar revision surgery. This is the result. Scar is very indented and looks horrible. What else can be done? Or is this the best it's going to ever going to be? Please help, I am devastated and can't show my forehead due to this scar!
